INTRODUCTION Are games more like coffee mugs, posters, and T-shirts, or are they more like books, magazines, and films? For purposes of the right of publicity, the answer matters. The critical question is whether games should be treated as merchandise or as expression. Three classic judicial decisions, decided in 1967, 1970, and 1973, held that the defendants needed permission to use the plaintiffs' names in their board games.' These decisions judicially confirmed that games are merchandise, not something equivalent to more traditional media of 2 expression. As merchandise, games are not like books; instead, they are akin to celebrity-embossed coffee mugs. To borrow a British term, games are "mere image carriers." 3 Although the last of these three judicial decisions disclaimed any intent of offering a "hard and fast rule,'A three consecutive losses in three different courts offered a plausible basis for predicting how future courts would respond to similar claims involving games.5 These three decisions confirmed the "settled order of things": a license is required to use someone's name or likeness (or identity) in a game. 6 The leading treatise on the right of publicity7 and the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition8 subsequently endorsed the results in these cases. 1. Uhlaender v. Henricksen, 316 F. Supp. 1277 (D. Minn. 1970); Palmer v. Schonhom Enters., Inc., 232 A.2d 458 (N.J. Super. Ct. Ch. Div. 1967); Rosemont Enters., Inc. v. Urban Sys., Inc., 340 N.Y.S.2d 144 (Sup. Ct. 1973), aff'd as modified, 345 N.Y.S.2d 17 (App. Div. 1973). 2. While the use of media as a singular noun is now widely accepted, the use of mediums as the plural of medium is not, unfortunately. See BRYAN A. GARNER, GARNER'S MODERN AMERICAN USAGE 531 (3d ed. 2009). 3. See GILLIAN BLACK, PUBLICITY RIGHTS AND IMAGE: EXPLOITATION AND LEGAL CONTROL 37 (2011). 4. Rosemont Enters., 340 N.Y.S.2d at 147. 5. See, e.g., 2 J. THOMAS MCCARTHY, THE RIGHTS OF PUBLICITY AND PRIVACY § 7:26 (2d ed. 2012) ("The cases have held that unpermitted use of identity in a board game is an infringement of the right of publicity and is not immunized by First Amendment free speech considerations."). 6. Petition for a Writ of Certiorari at 8, Major League Baseball Advanced Media v. C.B.C. Distrib. and Mktg., Inc., 553 U.S. 1090 (2008) (No.07-1099), 2008 WL 515858. 7. 2 J. THOMAS MCCARTHY, THE RIGHTS OF PUBLICITY AND PRIVACY § 7:30 (2d ed. 2009) ("I feel that the cases involving the unpermitted use of the identities of nonpolitical celebrities are correctly decided."). 8. RESTATEMENT (THIRD) OF UNFAIR COMPETITION § 47 cmts. b, c, and Reporter's Notes to cmt. b (1995). HeinOnline -- 29 Santa Clara Computer & High Tech. L. J. 3 2012-2013 4 SANTA CLARA COMPUTER & HIGH TECH. L.J. [Vol. 29 In 2007 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upset the settled order of things. In C.B. C Distributionand Marketing v. Major League Baseball Advanced Media,9 the Eighth Circuit held that the use of professional baseball players' names and statistics in fantasy baseball games is protected by the First Amendment, the right of publicity notwithstanding.'o Some courts are resisting further erosions of the right of publicity." The issue remains substantially unsettled with multiple courts now considering whether permission is needed to use the identities of athletes in video games.12 We argue that the rule produced by the three classic cases is an anachronism. The licensing custom created-or at least reinforced- by these decisions should carry no weight. These cases were questionable when decided. They are even more so now. The gaming medium has evolved significantly over the past four decades, calling into question the longstanding treatment of games for purposes of the right of publicity. One early case described the defendant's game as a mere "commodity familiar to us all," "an entertaining game of chance, the outcome of which is determined by maneuvering tokens on a game board by the throw of the dice."' 3 Until recently, the leading treatise, McCarthy's The Rights of 9.

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles.

Credit: Lucas Jackson / REUTERS A solo exhibition of Jeff Koons, one of the world’s most famous, popular and controversial artists, will open on March 10 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Koons will attend the opening ceremony. Born in 1955, he belongs to the generation of artists who continued the American pop-art tradition while embracing an aesthetics that took to extremes the culture of pop and consumerism. In the early ‘90s, Koons documented his conjugal life with Ilona Staller (Cicciolina), depicting domestic pornographic scenes in a series of photographs, statues and prints, in which compositions were based on religious and classical painting. A 1986 'Rabbit' sculpture by American pop artist Jeff Koons is on display in this image released by Christie's auction in New York, U.S., May 16, 2019.
